YUNGBLUD has released a new acoustic version of Zombie
YUNGBLUD’s Zombie – which is up for Best Rock Song at next year’s GRAMMYs – is getting the acoustic treatment.
Fresh from wrapping up the North American leg of his Idols World Tour, YUNGBLUD hit Jimmy Kimmel Live! to perform Zombie.
YUNGBLUD performed this year’s single Zombie on the latest episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!.
Taken from his 2025 album Idols, Dominic Harrison previously revealed that the beautiful song was written “initially about my grandmother going through serious injury and trauma, leading her to become a different person to who she was before. It’s about the feeling of deterioration and ugliness; shutting out the world and the people we love out of the fear of becoming a burden or an embarrassment.
“We all want someone or something to comfort us no matter how we are right now or who we become in the future. But it’s fucking scary.”
